Advantages of

Design | Build

The Design | Build process involves talking about ideas for your home, discussing your lifestyle, budget, current needs and expectations for the future.


EarthCraft evaluates options for your home’s floor plan, and prepares preliminary conceptual designs within these parameters. Using these as a template, we prepare working drawings and specifications, which are the written instructions for building your home.


Designing a home that will fit your budget and lifestyle is crucial to the project’s success.

Often, one of the hardest parts of the custom- home design and building process is matching client’s needs and dreams with the realities of their budgets. The tendency to stretch the size or specifications of the home beyond what is realistic is common.


Your design-builder’s expertise will help keep the project within your budget even when adjustments and changes are made.
